    Baby Girl's braids!
    Dave W.

    Braids by Nia is pound for pound my favorite hair joint for any and all baby girl's look. Nia is warm, hospitable, and incredibly quick! In the few times I've been in, she's taken care of my daughters hair in record timing. I've seen her do what two people can braid in half the time! Don't believe me? Come, see for yourself! To everyone who works at the shop and especially you, Nia, Thank you!

    Love my Dutch braids ! So happy with Nia. Thank you so much!

    So happy with my Dutch braids! Nia heard and saw what I wanted and delivered it beautifully like a true artist! Can't wait to be back and try something else next time. Thank you so much !

    Readers, the pix speak for themselves. I posted a pic of the style she was attempting. If she's saying that the other stylists thought that my hair did in fact look like the pictures (they said no such thing), you may wanna stay clear of them as well. Whats sad is that she took the time to write up an elaborate lie/excuse, rather than take responsibility for the mess she made. Says worlds about her (non-existent) professionalism and customer service skills. In any case, even if you choose to believe her version of events, like I said, the pics speak for themselves. Update: be aware that if you post a negative review, she'll start sending you wierd private messages (posted screenshots). Blocking the psycho.

    Knotless Braids

    I had the best experience, visiting Nia at the salon. I received a 5 star luxury shampoo before my braid service. My hair felt so healthy and moisturized, i almost didn't even want to braid it up after. My braids came out so great, and she was so sweet and accommodating, i will definitely be returning!

    Nia you are amazing ! I am so happy I found you. You are so kind and talented. I had the best experience in your salon. My hair looks beautiful and I feel so confident all thanks to you! Can't wait to visit you again!

    Empty shop

    Very unprofessional and sad...I made an appointment 2wks in advance and called 1 day beofre the appointment and confirmed. Nia didn't show up or contact me. I sat outside the businesses waiting 1hr not to mention the time it took me to drive there. Time is money and both were wasted. Its sad becuase id like to support black businesses but this is not a good look for the cuase.

    Day 3 and it still looked good!

Their online booking system was very straightforward and easy to book, and I was able to book a "Hollywood Waves" session with Nicole. It was nice that they offered the $45 price without hair wash.

Nicole was very sweet and I showed her a few pictures of inspiration. I liked that she listened to what I wanted, I had mentioned that my hair tends to frizz when I have curls so I'm glad she was able to tame my hair so it didn't at the end.

Finding the salon was easy and there was parking right out front, which made it even better. I stay in South Pasadena on weekends at my boyfriend's house, so I decided to give it a try. EJ was incredibly kind and welcoming. I arrived a few minutes early while he was finishing with another client, and he saw me right at my appointment time. He also offered drinks and snacks, which I really appreciated because I definitely needed the caffeine boost that day. He washed my hair and gave me the trim I desperately needed, removing all my split ends while still keeping my hair long just like I asked. I'm always nervous about losing too much length, but he really listened and delivered exactly what I wanted. His station was also very cute and calming, with plants around the mirror and a dream catcher. I deal with anxiety, so I really appreciated his relaxing energy during the appointment. I usually get my trims done in Beverly Hills with my longtime stylist, and I was pleasantly surprised that the price here was about the same -- $120, which is pretty standard for a good trim in Beverly Hills as well. Since I happened to be in the area, I thought "why not?" and I'm really glad I did because it turned out to be such a pleasant experience.

The woman at the front was lovely and kind, so check-in and check-out were the only bright spots. I arrived with clean, wet hair and had already chosen the products I wanted used. Once I sat down, it was clear my stylist was in a mood. He refused to use any of the products I requested, saying he "doesn't like them," and proceeded to blow dry my hair with zero heat protection. The blowout was rough and he was aggressive with my hair, couldn't get it straight, and it was obvious I was in pain. Wanted to get up and walk out the entire time, and honestly should have. Went home, washed my hair, and redid it myself. Paying $70 for that experience was not okay. I don't write bad reviews often, but felt I had to warn others.

At this point I'm just over it.. this salon has no basic service standards. So I write a short review. But the real issue is the salon manager, Cathy. See screenshot Rather than acknowledging the experience or taking responsibility, her response to my review was defensive, dismissive, and borderline hostile. She reframes the situation and even added a passive-aggressive comment along the lines of "too bad we can't review you." Wow! That last remark says everything about the culture here. Customer feedback should be met with accountability. A manager who responds vengefully instead of constructively tells you everything you need in how guests are valued. If this is how concerns are handled publicly, I would be very cautious about how problems are handled here about your hair!

The stylist was very knowledgeable about curly hair which I attribute to the cost of their service. I don't think I'd return for color again but will definitely return for the deva cuts. It could be helpful to give customers a rough estimate of the booked service so we get the chance to financially plan instead of being told the price once we're in the chair- at that point, I feel most customers could feel obligated to comply.

I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!

If you're in a need of a snack before your appointment, there are several coffee shops you will pass before reaching the spa. Appointments are required as is a deposit for services.
